What paint color?

Post by mrtleavitt »

We are taking my dad's 1970 F100 4x4 in to get painted this week. My dad had a '70 F100 as his first truck and he said it was rootbeer brown. Anybody know what color that would be exactly? He's positive that it was an original ford color as it was purchased new by his grandpa. Any help would be appreciated. :thup:

Not sure about the 1970 colors, but the 1972 paint color brochure shows the rootbeer brown as 'Sequoia Brown Met' , code R.
